[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks, pp. I was the one who asked the language question and I appreciate your response. I'll be back tomorrow to read it again when I'm more awake![/quote]

Thanks--I'm the one you asked, and I'm glad you asked the question. We got the language impairment diagnosis just very recently. Typing it out helped me think it through. I think language impairments are often co-morbid with attention issues-- being gifted confuses it more because (at least in my son's case) he was able to disguise his struggles.

This speaks to OP's child as well- kids with expressive/receptive language issues can have huge problems in preschool. Combined with attention or sensory issues, I could see a child having a limited ability to cope in a preschool environment. High intelligence (it sounds like her DS's cognitive abilities could be advanced for his age) could make the issue worse because cognition is ahead of coping skills and (at least in my son's case) giftedness brought out some willful, tenacious personality characteristics.
